Finals are over, and with them, my junior year of college. The parties have ended, the sobering up is commencing, and tomorrow begins Day One of summer. I begin working on my master’s degree in a month, so before I begin those twelve hour class days I’m going to read as much as I possibly can. I’ve been slowly compiling a list of books to read since February 1st, and I think I may actually get most all these read before classes begin in late June!
This list is beyond random, but at least it shows I’m open to all sorts, I guess? Except for all the Arthurian legend stuff, everything here was recommended to me. And I’m just really, really in love with Arthurian literature and legends.
Book one of summer will be The Once and Future King by T. H. White, because I need to finally finish that wonderful, wonderful story. From there, who knows?
If anyone has any recommendations, or opinions about any of the books listed, I’d love to hear them. I’m desperate for some good books.
